Patent number: 11095073Abstract: A locking clip for plug housings has a rear wall and side parts formed on the rear wall. The locking clip has a U-shaped cross-section. The side parts each have a mounting receptacle, by which the locking device can be pivotably mounted on the plug housing. The locking device has an embossment directed toward the plug housing in the region of each mounting receptacle. Thus, the locking device is not supported on the plug body over the full surface, and therefore a lower-wear locking operation is ensured. A system includes a first plug housing and a second plug housing and a locking clip. The locking clip is pivotably mounted on the first plug housing by mounting pins. The locking clip can be locked on the second plug housing on locking pins. The locking clip touches the plug housings only at the mounting pins and at the locking pins.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: HARTING Electric GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 10950976Abstract: Disclosed is a connector assembly having a first connector part and a second connector part. The first connector part includes a lever mounted on a base body of the first connector part for pivotable movement about a pivot axis (C) between first and second positions relative to the base body. The connector assembly can be brought from a ready-to-mate state into a mated state by relative movement of the first and second connector parts towards each other along a connection axis and vice versa. At least one engaging portion of the lever interacts with at least one counter-engaging portion of the second connector part in such a way, that the connector assembly is forcibly brought from the mated to the ready-to-mate state by pivoting the lever from the first position into the second position when the connector assembly is in the mated state.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Inventors: Chuansheng Ding, Alexander Schönfeld, Sebastian Griepenstroh, Dieter Riepe, Heiko Meier, Florian Hackemeier
